Question

Select the correct solution set.

x + 17 ≤ -3


A.{x | x ≤ 14}
B.{x | x ≤ -20}
C.{x | x ≥ -20}

Answer 1

it’s B!
you have to isolate x. to do so you have to get rid of the 17 by doing the inverse operation (subtraction) so the equation becomes
x< -17 -3
from here you just combine the like terms and that’s how you get B
